LANTERN-GLOBE SUPPORT.

SPECIFICATION forming part (if Letters Patent No. 354,970, dated December 28, 1886.

' Application filed July 21, 1885. Serial No. 172,228. (No model.)

lar lanterns, and has for its object the pro;

- vision of means whereby the perforated plate on which the globe rests is held against displacement or loss when the globe is removed from the lantern and the burner-cone is secured upon its seat.

To attain the desired end my invention consists, essentially, in a standard secured to the base of the lantern at one side of the air-chamber and burner-cone, to which the perforated globe-supporting plate is hinged, a spring connected-with said hinge forcing the perforated or globesupporting plate down upon its seat upon the burnercone, all of which will be hereiuafter first fully described, and then pointed out in the claim.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of a lantern whereon my improvement is employed; and Fig. 2 is a side elevation of a base of a lantern, showing the globe-supporting plate as tipped back.

Like letters of reference whereverthey occur indicate corresponding parts in both figures.

A is the base of the lantern, B the air-chamber, O the burner-cone, and D the globe, constructed and arranged in the usual manner, the globe being held attop by the wire spring E.

F is the perforated plate upon which the globe is supported, said plate finding a seat upon the burnercone.

G is a standard secured to base A, and H is a staple secured to or formed upon the under side of the perforated plate F. The standard and staple are united by a tube or its'equivalent, 1. Instead of securing the plate to the staple as shown, portions of the metal of the plate may be cut and bent therearound.

K is a spring engaging with the standard G and plate F in such a manner as to hold said plate firmly upon its seat, keeping the cone in place. When thus arranged, the globe may be tipped back for the purpose of lighting the lantern or reaching the burner, and the moment the globe is removed the spring will force the plate back upon the burner-cone, keeping the burner in place, preventing removal or [loss of either plate, burner-cone, or burner. I

' I have made application of even date herewith (Serial No. 172,227) for a patent for an improvement in lantern-globe supports, and so 'far as the device shown and described therein is similar to my present application I make no claim herein; but,

what I claim as new therein, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, iss The combination, with the lantern-base A and perforated plate F, of the standard G, staple H, tube I, and spring K, arranged substantially as shown and described.

Signed at New York, in the countyof New York and State of New York, this 11th day l of June, A. D. 1885.

FREDERICK DIETZ.
